GOING:

Race 8 1700m

Track:      

Good speed from Bankable Star, Margot Minimo and Lai Lua Ke Kai. LAI LUA KE KAI (3) was a gutsy winner last time over 1700m at this track, scoring by one length to make it two wins on the bounce and continue a series of top-three results. Should be poised just off the lead. Can make it three on end. THREE LEGEND (7) has been racing well including a win two back. Found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 1700m at this track. Genta Ochiai who has four wins when partnering stays on. Bold showing expected. LILABAD (10) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1700m at this track, beaten only one length. Contender. MARGOT MINIMO (8) did a great job to score by 2.5 lengths over today's course and distance last start. Respect.
